Weapons

Weapons are so easily accessible to permanent residents in some states of the US. I really don't understand why everybody needs weapons. I am a staunch supporter of individual freedom but if the individual freedom can cause a lot of damage when misused it is necessary to exercise control. If guns were not so easily accessible in Virginia, the mass murder would not have occurred. Criminals might get the guns anyway, but that is not a good enough reason to sell guns and create criminals!
